Kedar Jadhav is an attacking Maharashtra middle-order batsman who came into the limelight with a 29-ball 50 for Delhi Daredevils on his IPL debut. He scored six fifties and one century during the 2008-09 first-class season and those who have seen him bat for Maharashtra rate him as a natural Twenty20 player. Initially a part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore development squad, he was drafted in by Delhi, for whom his innings against Bangalore was a shot in the arm in a struggling season. In the Ranji Trophy, he made a name for himself in 2013-14, finishing as the season's highest run-getter with 1223 runs including six centuries. He was one of the few bright spots in Daredevils' failed campaign in 2014 and his fulfilling season earned him an India call-up for the Bangladesh ODIs in June 2014.ESPNcricinfo staff
